We're about to dive into a world of creativity with the one and only Petra, a guest designer for the HipKit Club. She's here to show us how to create a stunning layout using the May kit and die. So, buckle up, grab your craft supplies, and let's get started! 🚀
First things first, let's set the stage. Petra is all about creating her own focal points and embellishments using design paper. She's a wizard with a pair of scissors, cutting out shapes from the paper and tracing them onto a marble sheet to create an edge around the original die cut. It's all about layering, folks! 🎨
Petra is also a fan of using design paper as an embellishment and creating a vocal point for the layout. She's got a ton of techniques up her sleeve for creating mixed media layouts, including using large embellishments, cutting out photos and die cuts, and tracing around the edges of the layout to create a blended effect with oxide ink. 🖌️
Now, let's talk about arrangement. Petra emphasizes the importance of arranging all the pieces before gluing them down and leaving space for a title. She's also a fan of using craft foam to create an elevated design while jamming out to her favorite tunes. 🎵
And let's not forget about the details. Petra loves to use foam stickers and silver sparkly foam stickers for embellishments. She likes to tuck things underneath her designs and incorporates silver outline flowers and splatter paint to balance out her design. She even uses an old piece of cardstock to prevent splattering where she doesn't want it. Talk about a pro tip! 🌟
